A house in a small town in Idaho is the reunion location for a group of friends who all attended the same summer camp twenty-five years ago. One of them has met an untimely death. As they go about planning funerals and packing up their friend’s belongings, old wounds are reopened, loyalties are questioned, and truths are unearthed. Drama Desk and Obie Award-winning playwright Samuel D. Hunter’s THE HEALING is an exploration of the benefits and detriments of organized religion, as well as a celebration of the human spirit’s resiliency and ability to forgive.

The cast is a superb representation of Theater Breaking Through Barriers’ stated mission of advancing actors and writers with disabilities and changing the image of people with disabilities from dependence to independence. Hunter, having already worked their disabilities into the plot, allows the audience to sit back and appreciate the acting skills that bring forth diverse characters who deftly wrestle with the faith/belief system that has guided their lives for 25 years. THE HEALING is an impressive, thought-provoking work that will add to your positive theatre experiences.
